Something tells me that Natalia had already told her I would be coming plus always she would like to act like a prude and talk down on me before letting me see Natalia.
This was the reason why I hated coming here.
I have told Natalia countless times that her secretary is rude to me but not for once has she said anything concerning it so yeah that's how much my wife cares about what I say.
"I already have an appointment with her, didn't she tell you about it?" I asked the secretary who rolled her eyes at me.
"She has a busy schedule that can change at any moment but if you want to go in,you can go ahead." The secretary scoffed.
"After all she's your wife." The secretary said, sitting back on her chair with a grin on her face.
It feels as if she had won a lottery by wasting my time here.
I don't know why she was acting this way.
I muttered a thank you and headed back to Natalia's door,holding the handle. I heard moaning and I pushed open the door and took two steps in and my stomach fell into a pit.
I don't think Natalia or her lover saw me because she had her back to me sitting on her table and they still continued what they were doing and Natalia was still moaning in pleasure as I stood frozen to the stop as I felt my heart shatter.
I knew she had a lover but I didn't think she would go as far as bringing them to her office even though she knew I was coming over.
Was this when she was rushing to work?
To come here and cheat one me?
Her lover finally glanced up to me finally noticing my presence and stopped as I was frozen to the spot.
"Tck what the heck." He said as he looked away and stopped and that was when Natalia turned around and glared at me as if I was the intruder here.
She was cheating one me!
"Can't you see I am busy?" She asked, irritated.
I snapped out of my thoughts.
I didn't know what to do.
"Sorry." I apologized,stumbling out the door and shutting it.
Only a fool would apologize after seeing his wife with another man.
But I was really a fool,a fool in love.
So in love with my wife that I saw nothing wrong with what she was doing.
"I did tell you she had a busy schedule." The secretary sneered at me, seeing the displeased look on my face.
She scoffed and continued typing on her phone leaving me standing out there while I stood there thinking about what to do next.
Her secretary must have known she was with her lover. Why didn't she tell me she was with someone.
I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes briefly contemplating what to do.
If I caused a scene here my Father inlaw would put me in jail that very moment.
Even though my heart was broken I needed to leave. I should have expected that much from her.
It was not as if this was the first time I have seen him being intimate with a man. The last time I saw her kissing a man. She claimed it was a friendly kiss. Now I don't know what to think about it.
I could only clench my fist, hurt and angry as I walked away from her office as I proceeded to exit the company building with so much anger in my heart.
"Yo Thomas!" I heard someone call from ahead,I raised my head and I saw Jasper.
Of all days to see him it had to be today,one of my worst days.
I couldn't smile at him because even though he was one of those that ignored my existence he always made shady side remarks.
Jasper stopped in front of me and smiled at me , putting his hand on my shoulder and patting it lightly.
"Came to see your wife today?" He asked with a grin and I rolled my eyes.
Yeah I came to see her and I got an eye full.
I sarcastically said in my mind.
Natalia wanted to cheat and had to do it in her office when she told me to come today.
Did she do it so I could see it?
She would do such a reckless thing would she?
What was I even trying to say even after what I saw I was trying to justify her actions.
What is wrong with you Thomas.
"Heh! Why aren't you saying anything." Jasper said as he gripped my shoulder tightly and I slapped his hands away.
Birds of the same feather.
"Yeah I came to see Natalia and I got an eye full ,Goodbye I would be heading home Jasper." I told him as I removed his hand from my shoulder and walked past him.
"Who do you even think you are walking away from me as if you own the building!" Jasper yelled from behind and I didn't stop. Instead I increased my pace because people were already turning to our direction.
"Maybe you could sleep your way into the company board as well!hahaha!" Jasper yelled as his laughter echoed mocking and I was out the company building not sparing a second glance to him because I knew people were watching.
To think he would make sigh a statement in a company building without any fear I just don't know how stupid Jasper can be.
I heard murmurs when I was waiting for a cab and I avoided turning to the voices.
"That's Mrs Natalia's husband,such a shameless man he came to take money from her in the company." One said.
"He can't even work when he isn't disabled I can't believe such laid-back men still exist."
"I can't believe he has the face to show up here."
I had enough as I waved down a cab, got in and it drove off. I think I had enough for today.
Not long after we hit the road did it finally dawn on me what happened.
My wife actually cheated and I caught her in the act.
Getting back home and meeting my mother in law and her two friends in the living room I greeted them and wanted to head up the stairs to my room when my mother-in-law Mrs Gabriel called me back.I walked closer to her and stopped in front of her and she stretched out her hand while she held her wine glass."Fill it." She said and felt More like an order as if she was doing it to show to her friends that I was nothing but an errand boy in her house.I was already silently nursing the heart break her daughter gave me and now she wanted to insult me more."What are you waiting for?" She said and I sighed,picked up the bottle of wine and filled it up for her."You can help fill my friend's glasses while you are at it." She said and her two friends raised their glass with an amusing smile on their faces.I dropped the bottle on the table and headed upstairs."Get back here you low life! Thomas! Thomas! You dare insult me in front of my guests in my own house!" Mrs Gabriel shouted angrily b
Mr. Gabriel Natalia's Father was so happy that she hosted a party for her to celebrate the success of the company much to Logan's dismay.Seeing Natalia gaining their Father's favor wasn't something that he wanted,after all he was the first child and was supposed to inherit the company when his father stepped down but now that Natalia is in the picture it was getting more hard for Logan.It made me feel better than Logan was upset at Natalia's success.Even if I could reply to his insults I can still indirectly use this and rub it all over his face for talking down on me.Even though I hoped Natalia would include me even a bit when my predictions were correct she never did . It had happened for years now so I was used to it.When she was busy receiving compliments I was receiving side glances and mocking."I can't believe that they actually let him still stay here, what is he doing here,I can't believe that he calls himself a man." One of the women sneered at me.They were not trying
I stayed indoors the next day hoping that everyone would leave before I went downstairs to eat even when I had banging on my door and Gabriel's angry shouting. I didn't even open the door. I didn't bother because I knew that it would not end in a good confrontation.It was about 11:30 in the morning when I was sure that everyone had left. I went to the kitchen and found Grace there.She made me breakfast and I ate and thanked her."I don't think this place suits you." Grace told me and I was taken aback by her words." I am just saying that you should go somewhere you are appreciated and welcomed…""I think you should mind your business." I cut her off and she pressed her lips together.I feel bad that I spoke to her this way but I don't want her getting into trouble with the other maids and getting her fired.She was the only one on my side here so I shouldn't get her into trouble."I am sincerely sorry I forgot my place, forget what I said... I really think I should mind my own busi
Natalia rolled her eyes at my words and placed her hand on her hip."It doesn't matter how you feel about this all that matters here is me and how I feel" She replied with arrogance."Are you out of your mind?" I asked in annoyance." You want me to accept the child of your lover?" I asked in disbelief, staring at her as if she had grown two heads, because honestly I am starting to think she did." If you knew you were going to cheat on me you should have done it properly and not get yourself knocked up,you should come up with a better plan for your child because I am not going to accept someone else's child as my own!" I shout in anger."I think we will have a problem there because I am not getting rid of this child Thomas, you have to accept it,there is no other way around this, We are married and it's normal for us as a married couple to have kids. I think we have waited long enough." Natalia said with on single remorse as she stood her ground.A frown on her face.Did she actually
Natalia's POVI watched Thomas leave our house and my mother comforted me as she took me into my room.Thomas didn't look back when he walked away and I wondered what was going through that thick skull of his.I thought I broke all of his will to rebel against me.I thought I had him under my control but how could this backfire at me.What a stubborn man, he acts like a snake at times always sleeping and unable to hold down.He could have just accepted the child but he had to be difficult and refuse. How is he going to survive out there when he has been only at home for years.But damn I made a silly mistake. I shouldn't have told him right now that I was pregnant.I could have tried sleeping with him and pinning the child on him then he won't have a way out but the thought of his hands in my body,I just can't stand it,it would disgust me.But Shit! My Father can be so overbearing at times.I just wanted was to scare Thomas a bit so he think he would end up homeless i didn't want him
Thomas's pov:I was glad that Mr Gabriel didn't ask the security guards to manhandle and beat me up because I know he has been itching to do that for a while but I guess he just wanted me out of his life and family and wanted no conspiracy if he assaulted me when I was leaving. But I don't trust that Mr. Gabriel would let me go so easily after Natalia had pinned her pregnancy on me.Immediately I left Mr Gabriel's Mansion. The first thing I did was to call a cab to take me far away from here because if I knew Natalia she would go as far as kidnapping me to make me stay close to her. Unless Natalia found someone else like me good in reading the stock market which I highly doubt but with her manipulative ways I was sure she could do it.Making another poor man fall for her deceitful lies and clinging to her for her love and the promise of a better life.She could do anything so I won't be surprised.I wasn't with her for a better life but her love but it didn't matter. I should let t
If this was really Kate on the line then my head can't still wrap around why she just made that comment."I guess I was wrong about you." Kate said.Wrong about me?Her words were strange to my ears.Did I do something wrong to her that I didn't know about?For all I know I have been the best brother I could be to her so what's wrong."Is something wrong kate?" I was concerned at her change of tone.She sounded irritated all of a sudden."Yes something is wrong and I'm not sure you like to hear what I am about to say." Kate said."Which is what?" I asked curiously."I thought about it and I can't help you Thomas." Jate dropped the bomb.I chuckled nervously, taking this as a joke.Thought about it?I just called her when did she have time to think about it? Did she just refuse without considering all I just said?"What do you mean you can not help me?" I asked in disbelief."I mean I just can't help you, I can't afford to accommodate you." Kate explained further her tone was ser
I could hear someone calling my name softly and gently but I didn't have the energy to tune into the voice to figure out who it belonged to."Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. " I heard my name faintly again as I turned to the other side of the bed trying to block out whoever was calling my name.Who was that that won't leave me alone?"Thomas! Thomas!" I heard again and this time it was too clear and loud, my eyes fluttered open and I saw Natalia standing by the side of my bed smiling down at me."Rise and shine sweetheart I think you have slept for too long." Natalia greeted me cheerfully but a friend marred my face instantly."Natalia, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion as I popped myself up by placing one elbow on the bed and facing her direction.I blinked twice as I rubbed my eyes because the sleep was not completely gone from my eyes so I think I was seeing things."I came to take you back home with me,I miss you alot and so does our baby. " Natalia responded as she rubbed he
A YEAR LATER Thomas's POV I was in my office looking over some files when I stopped to suddenly stare at the picture frame of Grace and I on my desk. She told me to keep it in my office so she could brighten my day anytime I felt weak. Remembering her words made a smile form on my lips. I was glad I met Grace and I was even more glad to have her as my girlfriend. She did more for me than I asked of her and she never expected me to do anything in return, that was how she showed me she loved me. Even if meeting Natalia made me go through hardships at least I met Grace and I would never want to change the past if it meant not meeting Grace again, that was how much she meant to me. Life takes drastic turns now and then all we need to do is brace up for the impact. That's what I did and I was glad I have gotten to this point where I feel confident and loved. I finally got the company back to its former glory and I told Mr Gabriel and Logan that this was what they couldn't do. Mr
Grace's POVI was off work today so I decided to pay Thomas a visit.Thomas has asked me to come and work for him in his company and I refused because I don't think I will concentrate on work if I see him everyday, but I guess I will change my mind in the future.Mr Gabriel's company that Thomas now owns, I refer to it as his second company , Thomas's second company has few workers now because Thomas was firing most of them and rehiring.He was doing such a fine job handling two companies with small branches.I came here very early and I brought breakfast for Thomas because I know he is a workaholic and might forget to eat breakfast at times.I was free to love around now since I haven't heard from Timothy, my crazy ex boyfriend but I was careful and mindful of my surroundings.I walked into the company building. I greeted the security guards and I saw one person that made me smirk.I don't know when I started turning evil. I think Thomas has influenced me.I saw Natalia mopping the
Thomas POVI wanted to go out on a date with Grace and as we were making plans an unknown number called me.It was Natalia again,she has been calling me and crying to give her a job.Grace told me to give Natalia the job and after that we can continue going on planning our date.She said she wanted it as a gift.I could only give her what she wanted.The only reason why I came along with her was so I could see my old room in Mr Gabriel's mansion.I just wanted to tell my past self that I made it, it felt nice.Natalia finished cleaning the mansion and she did a good job.I paid her and she wasn't staring at me anymore but had her head bowed in defeat. I don't understand why she was dressed so tattered and her hair was messy but I didn't bother asking.I told her to come to the company tomorrow.The company that I bought from Mr Gabriel, workers were lacking. At least she can keep the place clean before I get it back to a better position, if she does a bad job I will fire her.After e
Natalia's POVI was just standing and staring at Thomas and Grace as If I had seen a ghost.What's going on here?Why were they giggling as Grace wrapped her hand more tightly around Thomas's waist.There were two bodyguards behind them and I was just rooted to the spot not understanding what I was seeing.Grace suddenly turned to me with a smile."Natalia, shouldn't you start working you know you don't have all day, I think you know where the mop is, if you do a good job here he might offer you a better job." Grace said with a sweet smile and for the first time her smile sent shivers down my spine.Grace never fakes a smile but this time I don't understand why this smile made me uncomfortable."Grace, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.I was only planning on seeing Thomas here and I wanted to talk to him,there was no way he would see me in this bad state and not help me."I thought you were going to do your job immediately when you came here, I didn't think you would be
Natalia's POVThere was no sign on Dad's face to show he was joking.Was he actually going to disown me now I had nowhere to go?"Daddy no! Please no ! I didn't mean to bring Thomas here, I was just trying to gain your recognition. You have to believe me, mom please say something to Dad, don't let him kick me out!" I pleaded as I got on my knees, Mom said nothing as she just watched me.Logan, who was behind me, let go of my luggage to drag me out. He held me by my hand and dragged me to the floor when I refused to stand up.Logan was pulling me with all his might, mom was pulling my luggage out of the mansion and Dad was accusing me of ruining his life.I was pleading, crying and admitting that I was wrong but they didn't listen.I was dragged outside the gates ,my luggage was tossed on the ground."You should just leave Natalia,you have caused enough harm already and you are already an adult." Mom said as the door gate locked."Mom please beg Dad to let me stay!" I pleaded."No matt
Natalia's POVI was laying down on my bed, thinking about what to do next.Everyone in the house was acting so strange, and since Grace left I have been the one doing the house chores because the other maid left as well.Dad said he didn't have enough money to pay her or hire a new maid for now so I was stuck with doing house chores.Who would have imagined that I would be doing house chores now, how low I have fallen but who was I to complain since Mom that didn't work started cooking as well, I didn't know that my mother knew how to cook because I can't remember the last time she cooked anything for us to eat.Mom and Dad, I think they have reconciled.The drivers have stopped coming to work, so when Dad and Logan want to go to work Logan drives the car.It has gotten to such a bad point.I sighed in exhaustion, I didn't know that just doing house chores can be this exhausting.I really miss having someone to do these things for me.But it was only a matter of time and everything wo
Thomas POVI was curiously waiting to see who just walked in."I am home." The female voice announced as she walked into the living room and I turned to look at her.He was carrying a backpack so I would only assume that this was Grace's last sibling."Good afternoon mom, " she greeted her mom with a smile."Good afternoon… who are you?" She asked when her eyes landed on me."Jane, behave yourself,it's Grace's boyfriend." Her mother scolded her.I don't actually see anything wrong with what she asked, since she saw a strange man in their living room.Her eyes immediately lit up as she smiled and ran up to."Brother Thomas?" She asked curiously as she sat beside me on the couch."Yes." I smiled and she giggled."What took you so long to come to our house? I have wanted to meet you for a long time." She pouted."You wanted to see him for a long time, did you get to know him first?" Grace's Mom asked Jane who giggled."It's a secret." Jane said as she winked at her mother."Brother Thoma
Thomas's POVMike took steps closer to me ,to stop Mr Gabriel if he wanted to attack me."How could you do something so evil?" He asked."I did nothing wrong besides many of them wanted to buy your company and not help you,you know that right?" I asked him and he seemed to calm down."Besides, I was repaying you back for what you did." I said."What did I do?" He asked innocently."I knew you were the one bad-mouthing me to my business partners." I said and his eyes widened."Well it doesn't matter anymore since I have paid back your family half of the rage I feel." I said."Half? what more are you going to do to my family,we have nothing now?" He asked me with disbelief written all over his face."Haven't you taken your revenge already, I knew someone was asking people not to help me, it was you all along." Mr Gabriel said as he fell backwards and his body slammed on the couch."You are smarter than I think." I smirked at him.He sighed and looked away."Just leave, I can't fight wit
Thomas's POVMr Gabriel sighed."Did you ever think you would be kneeling down before someone you called a waste of space?" I asked him sarcastically and his shoulders dropped in defeat."You should stand up and sit down,my lawyer is coming in to finalize the deal of buying your company and mansion. If you need your lawyer present, call him." I told him."Mr Gabriel, did you hear me?" I asked as he was silent."Why are you doing this to me?" He asked with a small voice."You can blame your daughter for bringing me into your family by sabotaging my scholarship to a good university." I told him and he looked at me with teary eyes.Was I supposed to pity him?"Call your lawyer I don't have all day." I told him as he looked down to his laps as he slowly stood up and slumped on the couch."I don't have a personal lawyer anymore." He mumbled as he rested his head on the couch."Well that's fine all you need to do is sign the documents after reading it, my lawyer will read it out to you or y
